Windows/Mac/Linux: TeamViewer, the remote desktop tool that makes for easy tech support or desktop viewing across systems, has released a Linux client, making it a really helpful tool for Linux fans looking to provide a little cross-OS support for their friends.

Reader PowerPatrick pointed out the availability of the full Linux client, which is free for home and non-commercial use.
